NDYC Advises Parents On Youth Training

The Niger Delta Youth
Coalition (NDYC), has advised parents to consider using part of the school holiday period to expose their children and wards to skills training.
National Coordinator of NDYC, Prince Emmanuel Ogba, who gave this advise in an interview with The Tide yesterday in Port Harcourt said by using part of the school holidays period to train the youths on skills acquisition the chances of their succeeding in future life is broadened.
According to him, baking, soap making, ICT, sewing and hair dressing can be learnt by students during the holiday period.
He regretted that some students invest their precious time on less important and less rewarding ventures during the holidays.
This of course do not have to deny them opportunity to do their reading or educational pursuit.
He explained that acquiring or learning a trade during holiday period helps the family gather more money for the family and their education when the school resumes.
Prince Ogba further noted that after the secondary school, while seeking for employment or preparing to enter into the higher institutions, they could devout their time to the small scale business which if it comes can sustain them in hard times and unemployment period.
